Over this time, she has helped raise over $82,000,000 in grant and contract funding for universities, nonprofits, public entities, and small businesses.

Over the course of her career, Lisette has attained and maintained one of the highest rates of grant application success in the nation with an average “win rate” of 60% (compared to the national average of 12-20%), and through her track record of success, has helped many nonprofit organizations raise awareness, funds and operational support that have sustained and grown their missions. She now serves as a guest speaker and helps train the next generation of grant writers and fundraising professionals.
Although she has written grant applications spanning just about any and every topic, she specializes in supporting causes related to agriculture, food systems, youth programs, land use/conservation, as well as the arts & humanities. In her personal life, Lisette enjoys spending time with her husband, children, and two dogs. She loves cooking, spending time outdoors, listening to live music and gardening.
